Redirects are common in Web Development. You can create a redirect using the Response.redirect() method:
res.redirect('/go-there')
This creates a 302 redirect.
A 301 redirect is made in this way:
res.redirect(301, '/go-there')
You can specify an absolute path (/go-there), an absolute url (https://anothersite.com), a relative path (go-there) or use the .. to go back one level:
res.redirect('../go-there')
res.redirect('..')
You can also redirect back to the Referer HTTP header value (defaulting to / if not set) using
res.redirect('back')
